A still image taken from video circulated on social media, apparently taken by a gunman and posted online live as the attack unfolded, shows him entering a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday.
People wait outside a mosque in central Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday, after dozens were killed in a mass shooting there. After his father died in 2011, Tarrant, a former fitness trainer who gave free lessons to children in the Australian town where he grew up, spent several years traveling around the world, to places where a white Australian was a distinct minority and a white supremacist was surrounded by people he considered lesser.
Tarrant, who according to London’s Independent newspaper met with right-wing extremists during a visit to Europe in 2017, declared allegiance to a group he called Europeans. The weapons the shooter carried were covered with the names of men who murdered Jews and Muslims in Europe. The manifesto quotes from poets Dylan Thomas and Rudyard Kipling. He rails against “nihilistic and degenerate pop icons” such as Michael Jackson, Madonna and Freddy Mercury.
Tarrant grew up in Grafton, a small town near Australia’s southeast coast, south of Brisbane. He said in the manifesto that his was a “working class, low income family.”
KhawajaMAsif So sad
KhawajaMAsif
KhawajaMAsif Is it so difficult to call him terrorist? Why call him shooter? Or is it because he is neither Muslim nor brown. Shame on you
KhawajaMAsif Alleged shooter ,,my foot... west and us media will never call this bastard a terrorist... no matter what
KhawajaMAsif New zeeland should attack on Australia and ban tomatoes axport to Australia.
KhawajaMAsif ALL THIS HAPPENS WITH MUSLIMS DUETO ISLAMOPHOBIA SPREAD BY THE USA+ WEST PRINT&ELECTRONIC MEDIA.THE TERRORIST CLAIMED HIMSELF AS FAN OF TRUMP ( THE FIRST ENEMY OF MUSLIMS& MUSLIM WORLD).
KhawajaMAsif This call Christian terrorist and had martyred 50 innocent people.
And Trump in denial about White Nationalists. He really works hard to avoid this subject whenever possible. This man is too old! Work to create maximum age to run for President. Suggest 70 years of age, or even 65 years.
remove the screenshot immediately.
At first Media reported it was “White Right Winger”’s Crime But He is fascinated by Left ideology, described himself as “ECO FACIST ”, admires China🇨🇳that has been slaughtering Uighur Muslims He stayed in Pakistan for 5 month, visited North Korea. Is he just a Muslim Hater?
You forgot to use the right word (terrorism)
Please remove this image.
Communist saboteurs trying to blame free thinking people for his animosity toward Islam Islam will never reform
Similar to the pro-abortion crowd
WTF Racism. Its an act of Terrorism..
Radical white nationalist terrorism.
at first I thought you were talking about tucker carlson on fox
I've reported this offensive image. Please take it down.
💔💔💔
I don't get it they say he lived in Australia, so why was he popping off about an immigrant invasion in New Zealand? 😐
Your article image is not appropriate please remove it
Christian Terror. Now surely in a church or synagogue would be an attack. The provocation smells this terrorist act.
But he likes Trump
The sad hard truth!
A very sad chapter!
How many babies were killed via ABORTION in the USA Today?
Suggestion: facebook should NOT allow users to live stream at Public privacy setting. Can only live stream at Friends setting. Can only live stream to Public on a delay after review. Only exception is credentialed entities. Let’s take away their stage. NZMosqueShooting
Yet the press breathlessly buying his trolling about being inspired by ‘trump and a black woman’ 🙄
Fuck is wrong with you using that photo? You are the problem. You know that pics will draw clicks and if that draws more people to the video, well that’s just the cost of doing business? Do better.
IT IS NOT OKAY TO GIVE THIS ATTENTION. The image is especially inappropriate. Remove it.
The killer seems to have wanted the kind of division you and other mainstream outlets are fostering on social media with partisan coverage designed to cultivate outrage and polarization. Congrats on feeding the monster.
Fake news ... it was a false flag you got your narrative going
Are you serious? How low can you go to aim for ratings? Remove the damn picture.
Take down that picture. It’s not informative and this isn’t a f*cking first person shooter game, wtf is wrong with you?
This why white nationalist should be added to terror list. There’s no excuse why they have not been added. aoc please try to get this passed.
REMOVE THIS IMAGE.
Gotta wonder why is using screen grabs from the terrorist's livestream. What does that add to the story other than titillation? There are plenty of other ways to show the tie between under-40s racists and social media/online activity.
We are so profoundly shocked and saddened. Our beautiful country is now changed forever more by the hateful acts in Christchurch
'Boundless racism, zero remorse' or, a perfect description of Trump.
aaaaand you contribute by showing an image from his video. shame on you.
Change the picture.
Please, change this picture.
Give these terrorists the same treatment Bin Laden got. They are both terrorists. Throw their remains in the sea.
Please replace the picture in your report with the the words. We will not give these people a platform for their hatred.
Shame on you WaPo for posting that picture! It should be removed now!
on va mettre le pointe sur - i -, ceux qui disent bravo dans leurs peaux à ce genre d'action .dans les pays non-musulmane vont jouer maintenant le rôle d'avocat et des spécialistes de la psychiatries pour trouver la plaidoyer pour donner un excuse à cet individu.
why are we silent that the main terrorist was trained in the neo-Nazi battalions of Ukraine the junta, which came to power with the support of Obama after the coup d'etat? Moreover, he was surprised at the cruelty of the Ukrainian fascists.
Question: would you have a similar picture attached to the story if it were a newsroom office instead of a mosque? No? Take it down, creeps.
Stupid on steroids and right wing hate ... Nothing to be proud of ...who else is pushing this rot?
Ethical journalism in play here with that cover photo huh? Real smart and classy
Yes, it's horrible. So was this:
Leaving out the 49 dead. Sounds like the Covington Catholic law suit.
Muito triste💔
Please remove this photo. It is completely unnecessary and potentially traumatizing.
Its 50 dead now One of the injerd passed away
You can report this tweet for displaying sensitive imagery.
There is a saving grace - these white crazies are not subscribing totally to a religion such that they think they go to Heaven for their murderous deeds ~
get rid of the screenshot.
Of course the left is crying
And because of media these things happen & there is no better example than this one.
Please remove the picture
NewZealan NewZealandTerroristAttack TerroristAttack
Please remove the screenshots of the video this filth wanted to be broadcast
Please change this cover image that illustrates the tweet.
not racism. It's called terrorism.
Now you guys need to watch because these are innocent Muslims killed by Christian terrorist.
WTF ARE YOU DOING USING AN IMAGE FROM THIS MONSTER'S VIDEO OF HIS ATROCITY? JFC!
Don't use this pic. Wtf are you doing?
Take the picture down, , and chill on the craven, desperate tweets.
Why are you showing even one screenshot of that tragedy? What is wrong with you!
Really ?!? Show some damn respect to those who lost their lives by removing the horrible picture in this tweet!
How do you post an image from the view of the shooter? The perspective of a survivor but not the shooter. No one needs to be in his mind
Instead of this nonsense picture, show us the face of this terrorist so we can recognize and stop the next one before another massacre happens.
Where was the Media outrage last week?
please don't show this
If a muslim does this u morans call him terrorist bt now saying that this bastard is mentaly sick shame on such ppls this was terrorist act n UN should place his name in global terrorist list.Terrorism has no religion and muslims r not terrorist u hv to admit this fact now.
Pretty shitty thing to use a picture from the footage
Yikes WaPo. WTH? Not salacious enough without first-person player pic? TakeItDown

Please stop showing this picture.
One lunatic
new frontier in 'reality TV.'
What’s up with the picture?
Too Late! Already Know it.
That's what the right-wing's core ideology consists of, racism, hate, and selfish violence.
Looks like one of those first person shooter video games
He's trolling the media. A white nationalist likes Candace Owens who is black & speaks for African American empowerment and never encourages violence in any away. Makes no sense. The guy also self ascribed as an Eco-Facist and Socialist. And said 'God no' about Trump policies.
Please renove this propaganda image
I wish they would show this massacre so that we can see this senseless act effect people.
...and we really still have no idea...not really...What was it that the Vegas shooter wanted?.....We still do not know do we? I say he wanted the same thing this guy wanted....
I’m curious, is it a conscious effort by western media to demonise anyone with a beard by using buzz words like ‘terrorists’ and only toned down words like ‘mass shooter’ ‘white supremist’ for anyone with low melanin or are you just dumb? ChristchurchMosqueAttack
We don't need screenshots of the video, WaPo. Have some proper discretion.
New_Zealand terrorist attack As a result of the American media attack on Saudi Arabia, Islam, Muslims, traditions and Islamic culture
Fuck up they were us 💔😔🙏
They’re playing to the mainstream media. Of course you people are happy to oblige
Pushing the hatred for more people to hate? You should just me focusing on the victims
thx for that pic(sarcasm) PLEASE REMOVE
Why the shit are you showing a still from the video. How irresponsible. Show this man. Nadeem Rashid, he died trying to protect people from the gunman. Focus on the heroes, don't give the coward airtime.
About that... (Netanyahu. Tweet)
No one mention his name
